The History of the Facial

Factual Friday 🧠💆♀️ | The History of the Facial

Let’s rewind the skin clock… way back.
Like before fine lines were even a concept back 😏

Facials aren’t a modern luxury — they’ve been around longer than most trends we regret (low-rise jeans, I’m looking at you 👀).

📜 Ancient times
The Egyptians were the original glow investors. Cleopatra was big on milk baths, oils, and exfoliation rituals to keep her skin smooth, bright, and youthful. Skincare wasn’t a treat — it was a priority.

🏺 Ancient Greece & Rome
Facials became part of health and wellbeing. Cleansing, oils, massage, and steam were used to support circulation and skin function. Less “pamper”, more maintenance plan.

🌿 The Middle Ages
Things went a little quiet, but herbal remedies and basic skincare rituals stuck around — proof that skin investment never fully disappears, even when trends do.

🧪 19th–20th Century
Science stepped in. Professional facials became about prevention, correction, and long-term skin health — not just relaxation.

💎 Today
Modern facials are tailored, targeted, and strategic. They support your skin barrier, boost results from home care, and help slow down visible ageing.

The real takeaway?
Facials aren’t “extra”.
They’re ancient.
They’re proven.

If royalty, philosophers, and entire empires invested in their skin…
I reckon you’re allowed to invest in your SKInvestment too 💷💆♀️
